Why Does It Hurt?
02:51
|
|||
|
She is walking away from life
On her way to become a wife
Shadows holding her heart
From childhood drawn a part
CH:
Oh Lord why does it hurt?
Why did you drag my heart in your dirt?
Girl cries out her pain
But her heart is screaming in vain
2, He is old could be her dad
She wonder if she has been bad
Why will they give her away
In her family she wants to stay
3, A child walks at the street
In a car she soon take a seat
Soon a grown mans wife
Run girl run for your life

1, She grew up in the dust of new England
At twenty he entered her way
She fell, she still fall, she want from love all
But all he want's is to play
Ch:
What do you want from a devil like him?
She said: I just want it all
By his game the moon grew dim
Tears from hell did fall
2, The girl though " I will him change"
He just smiled an played
She shrunk, she still shrink, but she cant stop belive
As his lust for her slowly faded
Ch:
What do you want from a devil like him?
She said: I just want it all
By his game the moon grew dim
Tears from hell did fall
3, He moved on to a younger girl
Another hungering flame
Girl cried, she still cry she can't say goodbye
But for him girls are just a new game

The Beast
01:51
|
|||
|
Hell crumble in shaded screams
when he entered the young girls dreams
Shadows kneeled down in admire
All the men in town got frozen in fire
Black thunder whispered of deadly disaster
What or who could this beast master
Chorus
She came with no fear
‘ Come,come my dear
I will darkness clear
With my bow and spear’
The creature lean forward in blustering cold
Young look his skin but inside his old
Her word awoke a gluttonous urge
‘ This woman needs a taste of my scourge’
But girl won’t kneel, she will not obey
She smiles at the beast and gently play
Chorus
She sing with no fear
‘ Come,come my dear
I will darkness clear
With my bow and spear’
Suddenly sun frown and scared the dark
Rain shuts hells fire and shadows hark
The beast in front of her down on his knees
“Pardon me woman, I beg you please’
Outro
She came with no fear
and light to her dear
She would darkness clear
With her bow and spear

1, Memories of my childhood contain nothin' but hunger and thirst
And God knows I have suffered, I have suffered the worst
My youth was a constant battle hard as the swinging, smoking seas.
I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
2, In seventh grade I got tired,Did not care any more
What poor kid care for school when the future looks dark and soar
And no one,noone wants a fellow with a social disease.
But I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
3, Who cares for you little fellow,my shrink once said to me
I said: I would not let no one in, how could I then remain here free
And when the rich worlds playing polo and drink champagne by the trees
I knew I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
4. And I just kept on walking, walking away from that life
I did not believe in marriage, would run from that kind of human strife
My manners and appearance did not calculate to please;
Course I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees

When emptiness crashes my head
When sun bleed and heaven calls for the dead
When The tide sing of blackened heart
And my souls voice intimidates art
In darkness I scream for you
I swim in love poisoned glue
I know youre not good for me
I know that we should not be
But when my mind calls for black
You are the one I want back
2, You crushed me to bottomless dust
You took every tear til my heart did rust
You made the ocean swallow my peace
Till your selfish loves increase;
I know youre not good for me
I know that we should not be
But when my mind calls for black
You are the one I want back
3,You eat my trust made me cry
In your arms I wanted to die
Then heaven turned to black
There was no turning back

1.When darkness kissed the moon
Sun fell down in pain
Hell screamed of bood stained lust
Heaven drizzled heavy rain
A girl there slowly walk
On the empty street
Shadows in her heart
Blood stains onher feet
CH:
She left a man inbed
A bullet in his head
At the street a girl walks alone
With silence as her home
2, A knife lost on the street
Footsteps walk a stray
Sun shouts to the moon
Is it time for another day?
CH:
She left a man in bed
A bullet in his head
At the street a girl walks alone
With silence as her home
3, The stars greets the sun
A smallbirdon a bridge
Moon walks away in shame
Night spins as afretful midge
CH:
She left a man in bed
A bullet in his head
At the street a girl alone
With silence as her home

Whiskey Dreaming
02:22
|
|||
|
I am a broke fuck, can’t afford my car
My souls butt naked, drunk in a smokey bar
I am lost from birth
Down here at earth
Lived the life travel with my guitar
Chorus:
Once I was a legend
I traveled to every big town
Now Im a rockstar with no money
And my star is fading down
2, Buy me whiskey And I’ll play for you
Need some weed so I can hide what is true
One time all the headlines where mine
Everything was bright and my guitar did shine
Now, no money no car, whats a rock star to do
Chorus:
Once I was a legend
I traveled to every big town
Now Im a rockstar with no money
And my star is fading down
Bridge out:
I lived life butt-naked swimmin’
In attention offered at stage
Now I am whiskey dreaming
This star has turned his last page

1, She had a body of heavenly dreams
Her skin with a taste of whipped cream
I lost my head
With her in my bed
A virgin unwed
But her roses were dead
ch:
But my mind is not fucking working,
I might just be wasting my time
This girl is a pain , I am going insane
Inside my soul drowns in heavy rain
2, I could live of her every breath
chase her lust in eternal death
I felt like a child
Mindless and wild
And the devil just smiled
when she had me beguil'd
ch:
But my mind is not fucking working,
I might just be wasting my time
This girl is a pain , I am going insane
Inside my soul drowns in heavy rain
I am arrowhead of a lost society,
Iam afraid and I met her deity
And sun will no more shine
But life will be fine
When I cross the line
With a bottle of wine

1,Shades don’t listen to sorrow
Still I cry like there is no tomorrow
I know shadows grow in grief
My tears lend but a weak relief
Chorus:
But he would have said carry on
He would have told me to stay strong
His heart still lives in me
I wish those tears could let pain free
2, A lost soul I tried to leave meomries of you,
And Inside me the darkness is still true
Telling shadows i'm going on my own
But from blackness my heart has grown
Chorus:
And he would have said carry on
He would have told me to stay strong
His heart still lives in me
I wish those tears could let pain free
3, My brother is my weakest spot
Died years ago, still this pain I got
Although so many tears I cried
Sometimes still don’t understand why you died
Chorus:
But you would have said carry on
You would have told me to stay strong
You heart still beats with me
One day tears will let this pain free

Humanity Goodbye
01:33
|

1, By the shop
at your main street
Sits a woman
she's asking for something to eat
Storms scream, thunder cry
while the passing watch her die
2, At the ocean on their way from war
humans drowning is what we see
A young boy with hands filled of blood
clinging on to be free
Storms scream, thunder cry
While the safe world watch him die
3, A woman screams for help
Behind your neighbors closed door
You think you should not interfere
Still you know it happened before
Storms scream, thunder cry
While another woman die
4, In burning world of many wars
You stay safe behind your walls
The more you got the less you care
When the pain outside is what calls
Storms scream, thunder cry
Humanity goodbye

1, Between the last star and the moon
Where the silence of rainbows bloom
There heaven. Bow draped in gold
Of eternal beauty we are told
Chorus:
Sleep in This last farwell
Where dreams of eternity dwell
Rise to the light when I cry
Farwell, My friend, goodbye
2, Heaven in silence burn
Sleep, there is No return
No hatred, No sickness, No cold
Only the dreams of gold
Chorus
3, The Bell rang at last
We know, it all went to fast!
But rest now, and sleep
While the Angels silently weep
